Red Carpet Whore

Yes, I accept it! I ADORE red carpets! I can't wait for every red carpet to see all the "stars" wearing designer gowns and tuxedos, and of course I like judging their looks.

I specially enjoy watching the Fashion Police from E! They're sooo mean and I know that loving Joan Rivers should be shameful, but anyways, I enjoy my guilty pleasures. What happens with this kind of show, is that personally, I disagreee with what they say. The worst dressed are my best dressed and vice versa.

But it's always fun to watch and to listen what celebrities are wearing and create your own "best & worst dressed" and also criticize from your own point of view.

I have my favorites on the red carpet. To name a few: Björk, Tilda Swinton, Chloe Sevigny, Charlize Theron, Marion Cotillard, etc. Another thing I like is watching what designers are doing for couture or for evening gowns, looking at the materials and colors chosen, the siluets, the accesories. I think you should take from trends what you like and what helps you identify yourself as a designer. Not everything you see on a trend site or in red carpets are "musts" for one's self.

So here's a few photos from the Golden Globes red carpet, with my opinion... everything is relative regarding fashion (and actually most of the things are relative) so I'll judge and you judge by yourself.

HATE IT! I hate the color, the texture of the fabric and also I don't like the transparency of the skirt. It looks cheap. Fail for Sandra Bullock and Bottega Veneta.

Chloe Sevigny always make some unique choices for red carpets (or someone chooses for her), I'm not totally in love with this dress, the ruffles are too big, it's quite romantic and it's from Valentino, I think there are better dresses from him.

Maggie Gyllenhaal always looks amazing and this is not an exception. I love the pale pink and the cuts in the front of the dress. She wearing RM by Roland Mouret.

Marion Cotillard in a Dior dress. Simple, beautiful. The draping and the color is just perfect.

I ADORE this dress! January Jones looks awesome in this Lanvin design. Quite simple and classy, but with a great detail in the shoulder.

WOW! Finally a thumb up for Drew! I used to hate Versace and Atelier Versace, they had a thing with flashy/embellished dressed, but absurd. Girls used to looked like ugly disco balls, but now, something happend, they're designing beautiful dresses and this one is not an exception. The fabric looks so soft and the color is great and I also love the detail on the shoulder and hip.

Another dress that wow-ed me! Marchesa always makes gorgeous dresses. I love seeing white dresses on the red carpet, they contrast in an amazing way. The details and the construction of this dress makes it unique and the shoes ♥. Love platform shoes.

Ugh! Hate it! This is the kind of "disco ball" I was talking about. This a Beyoncé dress. She's too pale and too blond for it.

OMG! Fail! For me it's just a "quinceañera" cliché. I don't care of it's Oscar de la Renta, but I hate it. It's too big, too princess, nah! (b.t.w she's the main actress from Glee)

Christina Hendricks from Mad Men in a Christian Siriano dress. I really like Christian's designs but I think in this case the dress doesn't match the person. Shea already has TOO much volume on her body to add more with those big ruffles.

Sofia Vergara in Carolina Herrera. I really like it! After seeing that hoochie, Christina, I think is relieving to see this dress, simple, with a beautiful drape on the cleavage.

And finally, Nicole Kidman in Nina Ricci. I like the dress, specially for the fabric and the pearls, it reminded me of the 20's and I think most of the times she looks amazing.

So I guess this is my biggest post EVER, but I always watch this red carpets and have lots to say. This is the first time that I'm actually doing it. I tried to choose what I liked most and also what I didn't like.
